Some of London's greatest landmarks are seen disappearing in a heap of dusty pulp in the latest trailer for the forthcoming 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation'.

The city is the recipient of a lethal weapon, with its release button pressed by... the US President - apparently with villainous intention. How do we know that? Because he's played by resident Mr Evil on such occasions, Britain's own Jonathan Pryce.

Only one man can outwit such maleficence, and he's retired... oh, hold on, there he is... Bruce Willis in laid-back form as Joe Colton, in this big-budget sequel to 2009's 'G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra'.

Channing Tatum, alumnus of the first film, is back in action, and this pair recruit some more brawn-power in the form of Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson. So, in theory, all should be well.

The film is out in the UK in May 2013, with Willis' 'A Good Day to Die Hard' appearing earlier on 14 February. And he's also busy filming a follow-up to the successful 'Reds'. No rest for the Willis.
